Chapter 338 When Taoyao Becomes a Sickly Girl (3)
When Tao Yao opened her eyes again, what she saw was not the ceiling of the tower, but a dark sky.
A few rays of sunlight barely shone through the thick clouds, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
She found herself lying in a wilderness, with her back against a thick old tree.
The tree looks quite old, with rough and cracked bark and the trunk covered with traces of time.
The surrounding scene is desolate and bleak, with rolling hills in the distance and a dry grassland nearby, occasionally dotted with a few tenaciously growing wild flowers.
Tao Yao looked around with some confusion, frowning slightly.
This place was something she had never seen before. It looked neither like a modern city nor like any place she was familiar with.
There is an old and ancient atmosphere in the air, as if time flows particularly slowly here.
"Is this the old dream that Xiao Xiao created?"
Tao Yao murmured to herself, with a hint of curiosity and helplessness in her voice.
"It's really 'old'."
After realizing that he was in a dream, Tao Yao tried to move his body and wanted to stand up and explore his surroundings.
However, she immediately spotted a problem.
This body is abnormally weak.
The simple act of raising her hand made her feel tired, as if all the strength had been drained from her body.
She took a deep breath and tried to support herself to sit up, but found that even such a simple action made her breathless.
"What's going on? Why have I become so lame?"
Tao Yao frowned, feeling the abnormal state of this body.
She struggled to raise her arms slightly, looked at her wrists which were so thin that they were almost transparent, and then tried to stand up.
However, her legs seemed unable to bear her weight, her knees gave way, and she almost fell.
At the moment of falling, Tao Yao's eyes fell on a wooden crutch beside him.
The cane looked as if it had been carefully carved, with a smooth surface and an elegant curve at the top that was perfect for holding.
"It looks like this is prepared for me."
Tao Yao said softly, reaching for the cane.
After getting the crutches, she carefully used them to support her body and finally managed to stand up.
Even with the help of crutches, the act of standing still made her feel dizzy and she had to stop to catch her breath.
"Little?"
Taoyao tried to call out to her system elf in her heart.
no respond.
"Xiaoxiao, are you there?"
Taoyao tried again, this time her voice was a little louder.
But still no response.
At this moment, Tao Yao suddenly felt a little depressed.
This elf is usually very talkative and seems to be chattering in her ear every minute.
But now, when I need an explanation the most, there is not even a shadow of me.
"Xiaoxiao, what does this mean?"
Tao Yao muttered to herself, "I am just dreaming, but why am I so weak in my dream? Is this just some kind of evil spirit?"
However, since he was in a dream, Tao Yao decided to try his ability again.
She spread out her palms with all her strength, silently chanting the name of the Original Flower in her heart, trying to summon her own authority.
To her slight consolation, a small pink flower did appear in the palm of her hand.
The flower looked a little duller than usual, but it was indeed the original flower she was familiar with.
Tao Yao felt the power contained in the flower. She knew that as long as she thought about it, she could use this power to restore her body to health.
The authority of the Original Flower still exists even in dreams, which gives her a sense of security.
However, after thinking for a moment, Tao Yao decided not to do so.
She gently closed her palms and the flowers disappeared.
“Since this is an immersive dream, let’s experience it to the fullest.”
Tao Yao said to herself, with a hint of smile on her lips:
"It's okay if I'm sick. It won't cause any trouble anyway."
Although I was a little confused as to why I was portrayed as such a weak person in my dream.
But Taoyao quickly accepted this setting.
After all, it was just a dream, and she felt reassured that she could always use the power of the Primordial Flower to change the situation.
After thinking this through, Tao Yao continued to look around.
The most urgent task now was to confirm where she was and what this dream was trying to show her.
Just as this thought emerged, an unusual wave attracted her attention.
Not far away, a pool of crystal clear water came from nowhere and formed a graceful arc in the air.
These water flows look different from ordinary water. They emit a faint blue light and dance in the air as if they have life.
Soon, the water flows converged together and gradually formed a human figure.
It was a little elf made of pure water. Its body was translucent and one could see the water ripples flowing inside.
She has a delicate little face and eyes as bright as two sapphires.
Taoyao immediately recognized the other person's identity.
This is the sea fairy, who holds the authority over the ocean granted by the goddess.
Although compared to the sea fairy Tao Yao saw in the high tower, the one in front of him seemed younger and had a purer aura, but the unique water element composition was impossible to imitate.
"It seems that what Xiaoxiao said is correct. I can indeed see the past grudges between the Sea Fairy and the Twin Flowers in my dreams."
Tao Yao thought to herself, feeling both surprised and expectant about this discovery.
However, to Tao Yao's surprise, the moment the sea fairy saw her, her expression became extremely complicated.
The little face made of water first showed an expression of incredible surprise, then hesitation, and finally an excitement that was almost ecstatic.
The sea fairy quickly floated in front of Tao Yao, with obvious trembling and uncertainty in her voice:
"Haitang? Is it really you, Haitang? You...you're still alive?"
When Tao Yao heard the other party's address, she was suddenly confused.
Begonia?
The other party called her Haitang?
Subconsciously, Tao Yao looked at the reflection formed by the transparent water of the Sea Fairy, wanting to get a glimpse of his current appearance.
The reflection of myself is completely different from my usual self.
She was wearing a pure white long dress with an elegant fishtail shape. Her slightly curly light blue hair fell to her waist, and a gem shaped like a water drop was adorned on her forehead.
The whole image has both human features and obvious marine elements, which is beautiful and mysterious.
Seeing this image, Tao Yao immediately understood his identity in this dream, and then he muttered to himself:
"It seems that in this dream, I should have become 'Begonia'."
"Xiaoxiao's arrangements are really thoughtful. This immersive experience is really maximized."
Tao Yao didn't think the situation was strange.
Since the novel is about a dream in which one peeks into the past grievances between the Sea Fairy and the Twin Flowers.
Then it is most appropriate to use the first-person perspective of the sea fairy apostle "Haitang" to be the witness.
This way, you can directly feel the emotions of the parties involved and experience the development of the entire story.
What's more, experiencing it yourself is always much more vivid than simply observing it.
For Tao Yao, this immersive experience actually helped her understand the whole story.
After realizing this, Tao Yao got into the role almost instantly.
She adjusted her expression, trying to make herself look like a weak but strong girl, rather than an outsider who was curious about her surroundings.
She looked at the excited sea fairy in front of her with a confused expression on her face, as if she didn't understand why the other party was so excited.
"Goblin, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Tao Yao said in a gentle but slightly reproachful tone:
"Of course I'm still alive. I just took a break. You don't have to make such a fuss."
After saying this, Tao Yao was somewhat surprised to find that her voice had also changed.
It was no longer the usual gentle, motherly tone.
Instead, it becomes softer and lighter, as if it is an echo coming from the water, with an ethereal beauty.
This detail made Taoyao more convinced that she had completely integrated into the role of "Haitang".
Xiao Xiao did a really good job in this regard, even the sound was simulated so realistically.
At this moment, the sea fairy looked at the living Begonia in front of her, still somewhat incredulous.
She simply couldn't imagine that she had just accidentally fallen asleep in Hualei's room.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself going back to the past.
What was even more miraculous was that when she followed the vague route of her memory and rushed over, she actually saw Haitang, as if she were in a dream.
No, this should be a dream.
She didn't know why she had such a dream.
Why did I go back to this point in time? Why did I meet Haitang, who had passed away many years ago, here?
But no matter what, being able to see Haitang again, even if only in a dream, was enough to make her feel extremely happy.
"In the past, I couldn't save you in reality..."
The sea fairy thought to herself, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes made of water:
"So now, in my dream, I must save you! This time, I won't make the same mistake again."
After secretly making up my mind.
The sea fairy's expression softened and a warm smile appeared on her face.
She gently floated towards Haitang, and the arms made of water gently patted Haitang's shoulders, the movement was as gentle as the breeze.
"Nothing, I just thought of some unpleasant things and was worried about you."
The sea fairy said softly, her tone full of concern:
"How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
As she spoke, her gaze moved downwards and she noticed the cane in Haitang's hand. A trace of heartache flashed across her eyes.
at the same time.
The Sea Fairy is also quickly recalling the current timeline.
Judging from the surrounding environment and Haitang's condition, Haitang's health should be getting weaker and weaker now.
She couldn't find a cure, so she left the Sea Kingdom with her apostles and searched for a solution.
If I remember correctly, she is now on her way to the Mechanical City with Haitang based on the clues she got about the Fairy of Life.
And she just went ahead to explore the way.
Thinking of this, the Sea Fairy couldn't help but think of the extremely unreliable twin sisters.
The entire stalk of the Flower of Life has no effect at all.
Haitang finally died.
So, if she could avoid that trap, maybe Haitang wouldn't...
